While 'Valerian' tanked at the box office, pulling in just $225M worldwide against its $180M budget, the film is a visual marvel that deserves a fresh look.
Director Luc Besson, known for pushing the boundaries of sci-fi filmmaking, is hoping the Max streaming release will introduce his ambitious project to a new audience and potentially recoup some of the losses.
